- David Mott – Baritone Saxophone
- Jesse Stewart – Drums & Percussion
David Mott’s music crosses the boundaries of style, form and content from new jazz to classical, from improvised to interprtive, from solo baritone saxophone to orchestral. In all of his music there is a continuity of the unexpected, astounding virtuosity, the dynamic and engaging, the powerful communication of musical sound and energy. His incorporation of extended techniques such as circular breathing, multiphonics, vocal modulation, timbral modification and microtones are rendered in imaginative ways, informed by his background as a composer and made spontaneous through his work as an improviser.
Jesse Stewart is a Juno award-winning percussionist, composer, improviser, artist, instrument builder, educator, and writer. A dynamic and inventive performer, Stewart has a remarkable ability to coax music from virtually any resonating object or material. He has performed and/or recorded with many internationally acclaimed musicians including George Lewis, Hamid Drake, Roswell Rudd, Bill Dixon, William Parker, Evan Parker, Pauline Oliveros, and many others. In a 2002 review, Frank Rubolino described him as “one of the finest young drummers and percussionists on the scene today” (One Final Note Summer/Fall 2002). He is a professor of music at Carleton University in Ottawa.
